    I wasnt given any forms or any info about an Ob. Should I have been?

    I just wanted to know what to expect next, even if he had said to me, see you when the results come in I would of been happy to know what the next step is.

    I also expected to get info about what I can and cant eat, seeing as its my first pregnancy (Ive done a lot of reading but I guess I expected more).
    Like the others have said, that sounds pretty normal TBH. It's a bit frustrating when it's your first pregnancy though and you have no idea what to do next! Thankfully I had joined BB while TTC too so I could ask questions on here but I also had several friends with kids or pregnant at the time who were able to guide me. Get yourself familiar with the BB pregnancy threads, there is loads of information in there.

    I went private and knew which hospital and OB I wanted (recommended by a close friend) so I booked the OB as soon as I got my BFP (4 weeks!). I had bloods done by my GP twice to check my HCG levels but only because I requested them. When I spoke to the receptionist at my OB's office, she gave me all the info I needed at that point in time and booked in our first appointment with the OB which was also our first scan - at 10 weeks. My OB doesn't generally do appointments any earlier due to the chances of miscarriages. At that 10 week appointment, our OB told us everything else we needed to know (again, at that point in time), filled out the referral to get our 12 week scans done and we asked some questions.
